To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The women of Mashhad are enveloped from head to foot in black mantles, and wear white face- veils, put on over the mantle and held in place by two strings fastened by a gold brooch at the back of the head. These veils have two pieces of drawn-work directly over the eyes, and are pulled in at the bottom under the mantle edges, until they look like bibs. These sable females resemble nothing so much as crows hopping along with tails dragging on the ground. Before returning to the hotel, I stop to ...leave my letter of introduction to the Persian General ; he is very civil and wishes to present me to the Governor of Mashhad, a royal prince, one of the innumerable descendants of the prolific Fath 'All Shah. On stopping to pay my respects at the British Consulate General, I find to my surprise that the Consul has heard of my intended visit to Mashhad from friends in London, and has, on learning of my arrival, already sent me an invitation to stay with him. With what alacrity I accept his courteous offer, is easy to imagine.
